<p>Go.</p>
<p>Whichever has the more insightful teacher. My school’s US Gov’t teacher is a reincarnation of Andrew Jackson, so I took it.</p>
<p>Though you might as well take US Gov’t, since that subject’s funner when you have a whole class of people for discussions and whatnot.</p>
<p>AP Psych is easier, but in my opinion it’s more fun.
I’m self studying it and it’s not that hard.
It depends on what you want to do in college. I want to be a psychologist but my school only offers basic Psychology, so that’s why I’m self-studying for the AP exam.
If you want a good major or minor in Psych, you should start with that class. But if you are willing to self study, I’d go with US Gov’t and self study for Psych.
I’m also going to take US Gov’t as a senior, I believe.</p>
<p>Take the class with the better teacher and self-study the other</p>
<p>Take Gov, self study Psych all else being equal</p>
<p>^ Exactly, Psych is an easy self-study.</p>
